When oceans of words bring you down
waves of hate try to make you drown.
Pull yourself up, your head up high.
Hit them with laughter.
Kill them with a smile.
I am not what's on my resumé.
Don't want the shortcuts.
So if you wanna know who I am,
take your time
because my story goes way back.
It hasn't been glitter and gold on my life.
Hasn't been easy but don't worry,
I'm not about to rant - on the contrary,
I'm proud of my history.
Meet who I am now.
I've learned my lessons hard.
Should never be careless and off-guard.
But only with a storm, I confirm that thick skin
where nothing can get in,
not even those eyes try to hypnotize me into sink.
When things get rough,
I get myself some love, some love.
When oceans of words bring you down
waves of hate try to make you drown.
Pull yourself up, your head up high.
Hit them with laughter.
Kill them with a smile.
Oh, it's been a long time I left my home
but it never left me.
I'm still deep down a Javanese woman.
who's always smiling.
But people get jealous and unkind.
They took behind my back to put me down.
Well, I really don't know what has gotten into their minds
Must be something I have that they want.
So have the freedom to be who I am.
There is no prison in my heart and my mind.
I don't ever want to be like the bird
that's been born in that cage
and think that flying is an outrage.
Can't talk to people like that.
The bullets always fall flat.
I'mma fit with the sound of defeat.
When oceans of words bring you down
waves of hate try to make you drown.
Pull yourself up, your head up high.
Hit them with laughter.
Kill them with a smile.
All the words that I meant to bruise it.
All the fools to think they can win,
but I'm too strong to lose.
Turn your mind to turn out that fire.
Don't ever let anyone to cover your power.
When oceans of words bring you down
waves of hate try to make you drown.
Pull yourself up, your head up high.
Hit them with laughter.
Kill them with a smile.
Hit them with laughter.
Kill them with a smile.
